This show started in April 2008 as the West African Hour, with hosts DJ Dreeky Freek (AKA: DJ Sasparilla) and DJ Spooky Luke. Back then, DJ Spooky Luke ruled the show with an iron fist and did not permit DJ Sasparilla to play anything that was not from West Africa. Thankfully he was redeployed to Edmonton where he now hosts the show Hip-Hop Spread on the Planet Bread with DJ Rankin' B (AKA: Steel Wolf)on CJSR. This power vaccuum created a state of total chaos, allowing the sweetness of the DJ Sassafrass to suffuse. Quickly the DJ's took many pleasure cruises around the African continent, and even across the Atlantic into the African diaspora (The Caribbean and the Americas). Soon we wholly adopted this cosmopolitan outlook changing our name in November of 2008 to the Pan-African Hour. The same show but more imposing, and way funnier. To hear our old shows check out radioscum.blogspot.com, where you can also hear Hip-Hop Spread on the Planet Bread as well as fellow CJLO show Eat My Country (DJ Alberta Bertha and DJ Edmonchuk). Besides learning about and hearing African and African-based music, this show includes guest spots from the future, fast hands in a game of dice, live feeds from international swamps, intergalactic space battles, and amateur rapping courtesy of us.
